Round seven of the 2026 Pro Motocross Championship took the series to Spring Creek, where a dramatic day of action unfolded across both the 450MX and 250MX categories. Our Captured content feature defines the moments and narratives that shaped the weekend in illustration form.

Moments before chaos unfolded in the opening 250MX moto, all looked well entering the first turn at Spring Creek. That would quickly change one corner later, as a multi-rider incident triggered by race leader Carson Wood wiped out a large portion of the field. Title contenders Cole Davies and Levi Kitchen were both caught up, with Davies later withdrawing due to a hole in his fuel tank. Kayden Minear, however, avoided the drama and pieced together another strong outing, tying for third overall. What a way to kick things off!

Red Bull KTM’s Julien Beaumer has been a revelation this year. It seems he took the ‘not an outdoor guy’ narrative personally, flipping the script to become not only a moto winner, but now an overall winner as well. With victory at Spring Creek, the 20-year-old climbs to second in the 250MX standings, sitting 24 points behind Levi Kitchen.

Eighth overall for Benny Bloss! A pair of 10th-place moto finishes proved enough as others around him faltered. Following overall finishes of 23rd, 36th, and 16th across the previous three rounds, Millville was a deserved reward for the sustained effort.

The same can be said for AEO Powersports KTM’s Carson Mumford, with an 11-3 scorecard earning the ever-talented Californian fifth overall. It hasn’t been an easy road for the 24-year-old, so the outpouring of emotion afterward was likely a combination of both happiness and relief.

There were several changes to the Spring Creek circuit this weekend, with the split through Mt. Martin and a revised whoop section among the key differences. Introduced in the interest of safety to slow the pace slightly, it can be difficult to accept changes to such iconic sections. Did they make for better racing? We did see some decisive passes in the new switchback, including Julien Beaumer’s last-lap move on Michael Mosiman. Even so, there’s an argument that certain sections should remain untouched, especially when they are defining features of the venue.

Welcome back to form, Drew Adams! P1 in qualifying and 7-7 across both motos – the speed is returning for the 18-year-old.

We’re seeing a fair share of crashes from both Lawrence brothers in this year’s Pro Motocross Championship. From Thunder Valley, High Point, RedBud, Southwick, and now Spring Creek, both Hunter and Jett have made some uncharacteristic errors. You’d have to think they’ll be eager to put an end to that run soon, because eventually even the smallest mistake can prove costly.

Cue ‘Return of the Mac!’ While 11th overall wasn’t likely what Eli Tomac was chasing, it was simply great to see the four-time 450MX champion back on track. Expect him to improve as he builds race mileage over the remaining rounds.

Also on the ground over the weekend was Haiden Deegan, with he, Jett Lawrence, and Jorge Prado all battling for the same piece of real estate in turn one. Deegan charged from last to fourth in moto one, capping off an impressive comeback ride by the 450MX rookie.

The 250MX red plate returns to Levi Kitchen, who pieced together a performance that may ultimately define this year’s championship chase. He took a heavy hit in moto one before recovering to eighth, then backed it up with a second-place finish in moto two to secure third overall. Entering Spring Creek two points behind, Kitchen leaves with a 24-point championship advantage.

Just this much seems to separate the Lawrence brothers, with both of their programs finely dialed in. Hunter’s 1-1 performance sees him carry a 10-point advantage into Washougal, leaving Jett with the task of closing the gap.
